Chuchipaca has always opened their doors and welcomed us when we had large groups. They did the same today.
The health promoters take the names of patients before the clinic begins. We will have medical consults, dental consults and dental cleaning offered today.
We prepared the different areas for patients and then we were ready. This is one set of students that would see the medical patients.
This is the dental group.
This is Jake maintaining the pharmacy on his own :)
As usual, we welcome all of the patients before we begin. Juan is standing on a mound of dirt to the far left as he speaks to the patients. He explains the services that will be provided through the day and then asks them to be patient as the clinic begins.
Then a prayer is offered as we ask God to bless the clinic and all of the patients.
It was a busy day with 30 medical patients, 46 dental patients and 5 patients for dental cleaning.
It was nice to work with the students. They were eager to learn and to practice their Spanish. Hopefully, they became a little more comfortable with obtaining the history of a patient and with physical exam.
It was a great day and all for the glory of our God.
